^that...I am tired of the conservatives talking about the red wave like its a foregone conclusion.
Sure you meant this.In a few seconds after the election Cheney will be working for MSNBC.
It's a foregone conclusion that the R's are going to shoot themselves in the foot multiple times before the elections, their only savior is that the D's will also.^that...I am tired of the conservatives talking about the red wave like its a foregone conclusion. I want to hear what they are gonna do about the economy, energy..etc...and that idiot in the WH.,,But, I doubt anything will get better due to the current WH inhabitants and the egotistical nature of politicians of both parties.
Cheney critics complain that she rarely visits, with many of them calling her a “RINO” (Republican in name only) as they air their grievances. Voters also called her a “carpetbagger,” an insult she’s been hit with since she moved to the state in 2012, a year before her unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate.
“Liz Cheney betrayed President Trump,” said Mark Hladik, who’s lived in Wyoming for 42 years. “Ninety-nine point nine percent pure RINO.”
Hladik is a Trump backer, but said the former president’s endorsement of Hageman didn’t influence his choice.
Travis Van Hecke, a Casper City Council candidate, thinks “it’s time for someone different,” adding that he would’ve voted for almost anyone who ran against Cheney.
“This race is more about Liz Cheney than it is about Donald Trump,” Coker said. “Anybody who’s credible, who ran to the right of Liz Cheney would probably win this race — with or without Donald Trump.”
Many of those interviewed, including Hladik and Van Hecke, voted for the congresswoman in the past, including as recently as 2020. But that past support no longer matters.
“Once a politician gets to a certain point, there’s a point of no return,” Coker said.
She's an undercover Democrat.There are some people that I dislike.
But I never disliked someone so badly that I would screw myself to get back at them.
Liz Cheney's hatred for Trump has destroyed her.
Not very smart.
Fringe and sometimes dotty ideas have crept into Democratic rhetoric, peaking in the feverish summer of 2020 with a movement to ‘defund the police’, abolish immigration enforcement, shun capitalism, relabel women as birthing people and inject ‘anti-racism’ into the classroom… Republican attacks on Democrats as out-of-touch socialists ring true to many voters in the centre.
Moving towards the centre ground would not just be a shrewd political tactic, it could also be the beginning of a cure for American democracy… Standing up to the ideologues of the left will require grit, but if Mr Biden truly wants to save the soul of the nation he will have to start with the soul of his own party.
What’s really bad about this is that they realize how bad the D’s are and they’d still prefer them to the R’s.It’s come to this: The Economist’s newest issue bears an alarming cover screaming, “Wake up, Democrats!” Inside, the main article’s headline insists, “The Democrats Need to Wake Up and Stop Pandering to Their Extremes.”
What? STOP pandering to the extremes? It’s more likely Joe Biden will solve the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture before he has breakfast this morning at around 11:30.
Early in the article, the marxist rag slyly praises itself: “This newspaper does not usually hand out advice to political parties, but…” Haha, we get it, Economist. You’re not biased. Not usually. But you just can’t stop yourself, this time.
The article begins noting that NOBODY wants approval ratings like Joe Biden’s approval ratings, which it calls “the lowest approval rating of any incumbent since the 1950s.” In other words, at this point Biden has beaten Jimmy Carter in the race for most worst. He’s competing with Nixon now.
Now think about this for a second: Joe was the democrats’ BEST candidate in 2020. Kind of makes the Economist’s point, doesn’t it?
Anyway, the Economist explained that America’s democracy is sick. Sick, like it has a bad case of covid. Democracy is so sick it’s practically on the ventilator now, according to the magazine. So the Economist wants democrats to cut it with all the kooky talk. People might get the wrong idea:
That is 100% accurate. Now take a look at the Economist’s prescription for curing America’s democracy and saving the soul of the nation:
In other words, Democrats have gotten SO kooky that it appalls even the Economist. To be honest, most C&Cers would agree that leftwing radicalism is what’s making America sick, at least in part. But what’s surprising is that the Economist agrees with us — after all, it suggests dems should move toward the center to cure democracy?
What the Economist is really saying is that the DEMOCRAT PARTY is sick, soul sick, infected with radical leftwing ideology, and that is making democracy sick too. Obviously the Economist won’t convince the gerontocrats running the party — Biden chief among them — that they should change ANYTHING. The Economist knows this, it was firing a warning shot, intended to wake up its center-left readers.
I’m surprised they didn’t also weave a suggestion for a pint or two in there somewhere.

Man Tries to Stab Lee Zeldin During Campaign Event
According to local reports, Zeldin was giving a speech about bail reform at the "Unite to Fire Hochul" bus tour stop when a man went on stage, began yelling, “wrestled with him a bit, and pulled a blade out.”
Joe Chenelly, a Marine combat veteran and national executive director of AMVETS, tackled the man, along with others at the event.
Zeldin was uninjured and returned to the stage to finish his speech.
WHEC reports that the suspect said something like, OK, you're done" before attacking Zeldin, witnesses said.
John Locke had plenty to say about the role of property....as well as assault & thievery. He referred to it as a "State of War"--in that ONLY legal presence is the best institution to handle the violation. In his argument...he actually considered what it would look like in the absence of legal institutions.....that the victim has been reduced to a state of slavery when unable to defend self & property.The attacker has already been released from custody.
